Inspired by the Portuguese influence of this seaside paradise, the Lalit Hotel in Goa imbibes the distinct architectural vocabulary and vibrant color palette associated with this place in its design. Pitched roofs, courtyards, wide arcaded corridors and ornate cornices bring out the rich cultural context of this region. This resort overlooks lush plantations and pristine blue waters. Special emphasis has been given to passive design for free air circulation in the hot and humid climate of Goa.
